Turning on "Using hardware acceleration when available" Has seemed to fix the issue for me.

I normally use Opera GX, but right now I'm back to Google Chrome to send this message.

A few hours ago I got home and got the message:

Checking your browser before accessing www.torn.com.

This process is automatic. Your browser will redirect to your requested content shortly.
Please allow up to 5 seconds...

I originally thought maybe it would fix itself, but it's been maybe 3 or 4 hours. I've tried incognito mode, I've tried completely clearing my history (I guess that includes cache, not sure) and I'm still getting it.

Not sure if this is my version as it uses the word "core" instead but I think version is (core: 96.0.4693.127)

Same for me. I'm on newest version of Chrome. I have did full browser reset and have also tried incognito mode. Other browsers on the PC work fine and chrome on mobile works.

I had left browser open and logged in to Torn yesterday while I was out in town. When I came back I was stuck in the same loop as you are.

Have the same issue on opera, latest version, but working on firefox.
Was fine when i went to bed last hight but this morning just stuck on checking browser.
Cleared cache and disabled all extensions and user scripts, no change.

~~That did not work for me, but thanks cRuci4l~~

It worked, thanks cRuci4l. It was already enabled so dissabled and re enabled but did not work, tried it again after seeing it worked for NORML too and then it did, thanks NORML ;)

~~Normally use edge. Had the same issue, also using chrome now to access torn.~~

Nvm seems fixed now

Please try clearing site data for Torn from within the browser settings, that should resolve the issue.

Thanks!

This is a serious issue for players who use old laptops/pcs.

I had big issues with this when using my windows vista laptop. Changing browsers can fix it. I found another browser and it fixed it for a few months then the problem returned. Mypal browser worked for a few months.

I find it odd that we need to have a 'super computer' to play a text browser game, quite odd indeed....

Anyway i have a newer notebook now and everything is fine at the moment.

A lot of people dont regulary upgrade their pcs.
